Abstract
With this invention, upon scanning a print, since additional information recorded together with that print is reproduced while displaying the scanned image, a special effect that cannot normally be obtained from still images can be obtained. A print on which image information and additional information, different from the image information, are printed is scanned by a scanner (209). An additional information demultiplexer (210) demultiplexes that additional information, which is decoded by an error correction decoder (211). After that, the image and the decoded additional information (moving image or/and acoustic information) are simultaneously reproduced in combination.
Claims12
An image processing apparatus for scanning a print on which a still image having additional information, representing a moving image is printed, and displaying an image in accordance with the scanned still image and additional information, comprising:
- demultiplexing means for demultiplexing the additional information in the still image information obtained by scanning;
- resizing means for resizing the additional information demultiplexed by said demultiplexing means into a display size;
- and
- reproduction means for reproducing the moving image in accordance with the additional information resized by said resizing means so as to superpose the moving image on the scanned still image, which is used as a background image of the moving image.
A method of controlling an image processing apparatus for scanning a print on which a still image having additional information representing a moving is printed, using a predetermined scanner, and displaying an image in accordance with the scanned still image and additional information, comprising:
- the demultiplexing step of demultiplexing the additional information in the still image information obtained by scanning;
- the resizing step of resizing the additional information demultiplexed in said demultiplexing step into a display size;
- and
- the reproduction step of reproducing the moving image in accordance with the additional information resized in said resizing step so as to superpose the moving image on the scanned still image, which is used as a background image of the moving image.
A computer-readable medium storing a computer program which serves as an image processing apparatus for scanning a print on which a still image having additional information representing a moving image is printed, using a predetermined scanner, and displaying an image in accordance with the scanned still image and additional information, said computer program comprising:
- a program code of a demultiplexing step of demultiplexing the additional information in the still image information obtained by scanning;
- a program code of a resizing step of resizing the additional information demultiplexed in said demultiplexing step into a display size;
- and
- a program code of a reproduction step of reproducing the moving image in accordance with the additional information resized in said resizing step so as to superpose the moving image on the scanned image, which is used as a background image of the moving image.
